Why Our Sailing Trips Are the Perfect Adventure Holidays for Singles

Why Our Sailing Trips Are the Perfect Adventure Holidays for Singles

More of us than ever are choosing to jet off and explore the world on their own, with adventure holidays for singles continuing to rise in popularity. However, what can feel like an exciting notion for some, can feel daunting for others but our sailing trips offer the perfect adventure holiday for singles, combining the chance to meet like-minded people whilst exploring the world.

Solo But Not Alone


Single travel doesn’t have to mean going it alone. Climbing aboard with us provides the chance to connect with a new group of people and, in many cases, make friends for life. Whether it’s an arctic adventure in Svalbard, a heavenly sail around the Mediterranean or a hands-on tall ship voyage, you’ll be in good company.

From sharing stories from the day over meal times to hoisting sails together or enjoying small group experiences ashore, our sailing trips are a welcoming, friendly environment for solo travellers.

Space to Breathe

Whilst you won’t ever be sailing alone, there will always be plenty of space for you to enjoy time out, read a book, soak up the scenery or simply take a moment to yourself.

Many choose to travel alone to reconnect with themselves, escaping the constant phone notifications or busy modern lives. Indulge in a peaceful moment as the day breaks, watch for wildlife on deck and stargaze at night, our sailing ventures offer plenty of space for reflection, dipping in and out of companionship as you need.

Affordable Solo Adventure Holidays

Travelling solo can be expensive but our adventure holidays for singles are an affordable way for single travellers to explore the globe.

If you are happy to sleep in shared quarters then there will be no single supplement on the cost of your trip. These arrangements are more common in our traditional boats such as Bessie Ellen, Pellew and Escape who are all traditional working ships.

Should you be keen on a cabin then there is the option of a twin cabin at no extra charge, as long as you are comfortable sharing the space with another guest of the same gender. As the majority of your time on board will be spent on deck or in the saloon, you don’t need to worry too much about spending time with your cabin mate as the cabins are really only used for sleeping and dressing.

Understandably, the idea of sharing a space doesn’t appeal to everyone, so there is the option to enjoy a cabin to yourself by paying a single supplement fee. This amount ranges in price across our fleet, but it is usually around 50%, perhaps a small price to pay for being able to spread out and unwind after a day sailing.

Skippered Adventure Holidays

Each of our ventures are led by experienced crew and skippers who are passionate about sailing. Whether you choose a hands-on tall ship sailing adventure or a more luxurious experience on a yacht, you can rest assured that you will be in safe hands.

No experience is needed to climb aboard any of our vessels either. Just a sense of adventure with the desire to try something new, swapping standard package travel for fresh air, salty skin, new friendships and unrivalled experiences.
